Top 10 celebrity predictions for 2013

Love him or hate him it would seem Christopher Maloney has a serious fan base out there.

The former cruise ship singer reigned strong in The X Factor leader board for the majority of the series although he eventually lost out to runner-up Jahmene Douglas and this year’s winner James Arthur.

Nevertheless, assuming James gets plagued by The X Factor male winners’ curse – which has already seen the likes of Steve Brookstein, Shane Ward, Leon Jackson, JoeMcElderry and Matt Cardle amount to nothing in particular, Christopher will sail to victory when his unoriginal, incredibly cheesy single hits shelves next year.

One Direction finished in third back in 2010, remember.

9. Taylor Swift dumps Harry Styles and writes a song about his cougar fantasies

He’s been warned but Harry Styles appears to be hell bent on pursuing his whirlwind romance with world-renowned heartbreaker Taylor Swift.

She’ll dump him and then write a nice juicy track based on their long-distance relationship which was ill-fated from the start.

She’s done it before, she’ll do it again.

8. The Pussycat Dolls reform

The Pussycat Dolls have made a bit of a comeback in recent weeks although they haven’t actually released any new music.

Interest in the band skyrocketed when Nicole Scherzinger replaced Kelly Rowland on The X Factor judging panel and then her old bandmate Ashley Roberts won over the hearts of the nation during her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Presumably another one of the super sexy dance troupe will sign up for Celebrity Big Brother or Dancing On Ice in January and they’ll be back in the charts before you know it.

Helen shocked the nation when she announced on I’m A Celebrity that she has a spray tan every two days and has never blow-dried her own hair.

She loves to look good, is jam packed with ditsy one-liners, has a cleavage to rival Kelly Brook and is now pursuing a modelling career.

Basically, she’s Amy Childs in the making. Opening a beauty salon is the obvious next step for our favourite Corrie babe.

6. Simon Cowell returns to The X Factor

The X Factor has been obliterated by Strictly Come Dancing in the ratings war this year.

Ok, so that may be because the Beeb managed to bag Cheryl Cole’s best bud Kimberley Walsh and Olympic champs Victoria Pendleton and Louis Smith, but one thing’s for sure… Simon Cowell won’t, can’t, put up with this for much longer.

He’s already committed himself to another series of The X Factor USA but we reckon Simon may be able to flit between the two shows ( a bit like Strictly judge Len Goodman who splits his time between London and Dancing With The Stars).

He revived Britain’s Got Talent with his return to the judging line-up after ratings plummeted in his absence so his return to X Factor is the only proven solution.

5. Cheryl Cole and Tre Holloway get engaged

It’s inevitable.

She’s a hopeless romantic and he’s the spit of Ashley Cole. He’s hot, he’s a dancer, they’re totally in love and they can share lifts to work. Perfect.

We don’t expect a wedding anytime soon though because we’re hoping Chezza will be focused on getting it right this time around and take her time.

4. Harry Styles goes solo

Niall Horan’s doll may have outsold the rest of the band’s but it’s Harry Styles everyone is really interested in. And with Taylor Swift on his ever-growing list of conquests, they’ll be no stopping him in 2013.

He’s got the strongest vocals, the most high-profile friends and he’s got Robbie Williams and Geri Halliwell written all over him.

With Harry out on his own, 1D will presumably nab George Shelley from Union J but they better bagsie him quick because Louis Walsh’s X Factor boys are about to embark on something pretty impressive if you ask us.

3. Rihanna and Chris Brown tie the knot in Vegas

Karrueche Tran has been kicking around lately and there has been a lot of mixed messages on Twitter.

First there were the semi-naked bedroom/underwear snaps then she’s hinting it’s all over after his secret rendezvous with his ex.

A Las Vegas wedding will sort this mess out once and for all.

2. K-Stew and R-Patz skulk off for secret wedding

So R-Patz has miraculously forgiven K-Stew for cheating on him with 41-year-old married father-of-two, who just so happened to be her Snow White And The Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders.

We reckon she must have made some pretty serious promises to win Rob back and impending nuptials is bound to be one of them.

They were incredibly private – well, before K-Stew awkwardly apologised for her fling in a public statement – and this one will no doubt be on the down low.

They’ll be no glossy magazine deals but maybe a cheeky overhead helicopter snap if we’re lucky.

1. Victoria and David Beckham announce they’re expecting baby No. 5

David has made no secret of the fact he’s after a seven-a-side and VB has got into the habit of popping out gorgeous sprogs.

With little Harper Seven developing her extra swish style by the day it’s time VB got to work on her next Beckham heir.
